Hi
I wonder if someone could find the reason why

The story goes Henry Marriott born 1875 Corby Lincolnshire birth sates Mother Elizabeth Marriott
On the Census from 1861 she is a widow
Elizabeth Whitfied married Charles Marriot 1851 Swinstead Lincs
Father John Winfield and Thomas Marriott

I have had a contact re Charles Marriott that he went to America with his Father and Mother and all thier children what would the reason be

I,have found a Immigration to America 1853 Ship Cannutticat for the Marriott Family
Thomas Marriott age 40 and Ann Maariott aged 40 and the rest of thier children including Charles Marriott born 1831
So why would all the Family go
Please
Olive

But if Charles married in 1851 it doesn't make sense that he emigrated to America in 1853 with his family and no wife.

Hi
I agree it doesn't make sence
But all the children are mentioned on the Immigration off 1853
Maybe the father was convicted

The was a contact who gave the info that the Family had gone to America

Thankyou for looking for me
Olive

I think it's likely that Charles went, and that either he returned to father the children or that Elizabeth went on to have the children my someone else, but kept her married name.

Maybe Thomas Marriott was deported for a reason ??

Just for info, people were absolutely not deported to the USA in the 1800s, or really anytime.

The US was an independent country after 1776 and certainly did not accept other countries' deportees!


I would think it quite possible that Charles abandoned Eizabeth - or perhaps at least equally possible, that she had left him for another man.

In 1861 she was a widow with young children

Elizabeth Marriott 30
Jane E Marriott 8
Sarah H Marriott 6
Eliza E Marriott 4

but 20 years later, she was still a widow, with children born after 1861

Elizabeth Marriott 50
Charles Ed. Marriott 18
William Geo. Marriott 14
Mary Jane Marriott 10
Henry Marriott 7


do you know whom any of the children, especially the younger ones, named as their father on their own marriage certificates?


malyon posted baptism records for Sarah 1855 and Eliza 1857

but I am not seeing matching birth records

None of the children at all seem to have been registered, at least as Marriott.

ah, wait, here's the last one, then working backward

MARRIOTT, HENRY mother WHITFIELD
GRO Reference: 1875 M Quarter in BOURN Volume 07A Page 327

MARRIOTT, MARY JANE mother blank
GRO Reference: 1870 J Quarter in BOURN Volume 07A Page 329

(the two Nyx posted earlier)


but

No William Marriott c1867
No Charles Marriott c1863
etc.


Elizabeth may have had a partner at the time the older children were born and they were registered in his name?

but checking some of the possible births with the right given names (e.g. Charles Edward Hubbard) against the new GRO index showing surnames, none shows Whitfield as the mother (or Marriott, in case she was being a little liberal with the truth)

Seems possible they simply weren't registered, since it wasn't compulsory until 1874.

Olive Jean, there is a new search facility at the GRO

(I didn't know until someone explained it clearly here!)

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/indexes_search.asp

Pick births.

The problems is ... you have to have a surname, with at least an approximate spelling.

When you know who the mother was but not how the birth was registered, this is no help.

It also only allows searches in five-year periods. The easiest way to do it is start with, say, 1850 +/- 2 years. Then go to 1855 +/- 2 years. That way you have covered 1848 to 1852 and 1853 to 1858.

But ... you also have to specify Female or Male each time.

So it gets a bit tedious and slow.

For marriages, just Freebmd, no?

Or did you mean other info from the certificate or parish record? That, I don't know ...

JoonieCloonie Report 19 Apr 2017 15:27

I would get Henry 1875's first marriage certificate out of curiosity.

'Henry Marriott Widower father ---Marriott deceased'

edited - sorry, I misread that first as his father being Henry Marriott.

So father was '--- Marriott' i.e. no name.

He didn't know his father's name and it is 99% certain it was not Marriott. :-)
